>there is no way that devices like the X230 or T480 will ever, ever, ever, be able to run without some proprietary firmware.

Wrong. T480 is the best target to have a fully libre system, more so than a T400. With the exploit the deguard utility uses it's possible to run unsigned code in ME and load unsigned microcode.


https://libreboot.org/docs/install/t480.html#absolutely-unsigned-intel-me

>One of the benefits of deguard for Intel MEv11 is that it sets the ME in such a state where you can run unsigned code in there. This is how the Intel Boot Guard was disabled, because it is the ME that enforces such restrictions; more information about deguard is available on a dedicated page.

>The deguard utility could also be used to enable the red-unlock hack, which would permit unsigned execution of new CPU microcode, though much more research is needed. Because of these two facts, this makes the T480/T480s the most freedom-feasible of all relatively modern x86 laptops.

>With deguard, you have complete control of the flash. This is unprecedented on recent Intel systems in Libreboot, so it’s certainly a very interesting port!

>>107702321
For a long time i have been interested in having more freedom in my tech and did a lot of research for T480 and upgrades like a better screen. But I could never go through with actually buying just because of the price compared to newer hardware. It is also very demotivating to know that just having a weak little laptop does barely nothing, considering i have a homelab and a phone. I have a hard time extending my freedom outside of software

No. I did quality auditing in a NATO defence company. It was a great way to become unpopular, bearer of bad news and all that. We had to learn about the field before we could start auditing, and Japan was still a source of knowledge. The US was less interested in quality and I was not surprised to learn from GAO that F-35 had suffered a regression in the radar software suite. And that is far closer to capital offence than a red ring. GAO has also published MTBF info that is rather disturbing. F-35 is a hangar queen that one week into WWIII would all be grounded waiting for spare parts that are no longer on the shelves.

>Drone as first responder (DFR) adoption really took off in 2025. Though the concept has been around since 2018, this year saw more normalization of the technology, its integration into more real-time crime center structures, and the implementation of automated deployment of drones.

>A DFR program features a fleet of camera-equipped drones, which can range from just a couple to dozens or more. These are deployed from a launch pad in response to 911 calls and other calls for service, sometimes operated by a drone pilot or, increasingly, autonomously directed to the call location. The appeal is the promise of increased “situational awareness” for officers headed to a call. This video offers a short explanation of DFR, and for a list of all of the cities we know use drones, including DFR programs, check out EFF’s Atlas of Surveillance.

>>107702965
In your view, what am I misunderstanding here? What am I failing to read correctly? Repeatedly screeching about how I can’t read isn’t an argument. Explain how the example you provided (Haigs-Simon definition of income) allows for everyone in an economy to simultaneously have a high income when they all make the same amount. Keep in mind that “high income” and highER income are not the same thing. Try to do this without deflecting. Actually explain the position.

>>107702722
I love the look of the 8bitdo one(s) but how unnecessarily locked down it is and the fact it doesn't have any remappability, even on their own software, is monstrously stupid.

Because they should be on the left instead of the right

some appimages don't include all required dependencies and won't work on a minimal install or if one of these dependency is newer than what the appimage expects (eg ICU). it's a good concept but not just works anywhere like flatpak.

It is quite simple, it all depends on whether you want to gayme, if not then go for Apple macbook pro, Dell pro or ThinkPad laptops other wise I would suggest get a Razer blade or Lenovo Legion.

Exactly, I always thought this is a place for deeper OS talk. I can use every OS without being a Tinker Troon. But I'm tired of fags shitting on Linux or dumbfags asking the most basic shit.

Someone on /agdg/ insulted my intelligence so I'm shifting gears for a bit. vm allocator set up. Going to write arena code next.

Snippet here:

size_t page = vmem_get_page_size();
printf("Page size: %zu\n", page);
void *ptr = vmem_reserve(1024 * 1024);
if (!ptr) return 1;
if (!vmem_commit(ptr, page))
return 1;
int *x = (int *)ptr;
*x = 544;
printf("%d\n", *x);
if (!vmem_decommit(ptr, page))
return 1;
if (!vmem_release(ptr, page))

Firefox + about:config tweaks
If you do anything else you are literally retarded.

The main problem is that Gecko removed the ability to be independent from Firefox. All Firefox browsers are just body mods of the Firefox chassis, which gets out of date and gets cves and not enough engine features to pass anti-bot and user agent checks.

Until all the forks unite and make a common stand alone gecko you're just Firefox in drag.

powershell is trash, complete and utter pathetic excuse for a shell

Whenever i try to use powershell for anything nothing ever works, even on windows.
